A/N: My first X-Men Movie fan fiction, set immediately after Lamby's Darkest Hearts and using the Lamby/Corrinth shared timeline. All reviews very much appreciated, and I apologise in advance for typos/grammar mistakes/spelling mistakes/getting carried away with sports cars or any thing else! Enjoy.

01

A noisy airport. A noisy American airport. A tall man in a long black coat and short brown hair stepped out of the arrivals lounge and began his search for the shape changer. Some poor excuse for music spilled out of loud speakers like molten rock. He sat down nonchalantly at the predetermined restaurant and waited. He was early so he reached into his coat and put earphones into his ears and pressed play on his I-pod. The first time that the waiter asked what he would like he waved him away. By the time he was on his third drink a blond woman sat at his table, opposite him. She placed her purse on the table open revealing a picture of a young teenage boy. A quick mental probe revealed that which he was sure of.

"Mystique"

"Very observant. But to business. How much is this boy worth to you?" Mystique asked putting away again the picture of the teenaged boy.

"Nothing, not until I personally verify his powers."

"I thought as much. If you will come with me I have a car waiting outside."

"So at last I am getting somewhere! So your the shape changer of Magneto's" the telepath known as Fragment said as he and Mystique they left the airport and into the sun. A young man, thud, afiremutant named John opened a rear car door for them. The car was defiantly an American make judging by the size of it, John got in the front and they slid away from the airport.

"Pyro, take us to Magneto."

"I need to make a phone call, you will have to bare with me." Fragment proceeded to dial a number into an expensive mobile. "Yes, this is Fragment I want my car transported to Orlando." he spoke into the phone before hanging up.

"How did you know?" demanded Mystique. Fragment just lifted his fingers to his temple and tapped two of them once. "A telepath."

"We may have trouble," Xavier announced to Cyclops, Logan and Ilehana as he entered the war room "Cerebro just detected Mystique talking to a psychic mutant that I believe Magneto may be trying to recruit"

"Where are they?" Scott asked, "We'll go and stop them."

"No, wait, I'll follow them using Cerebro as soon as I get back. That way I might be able to find Magneto as well. Ilehana, could you keep an eye on them for me?" Xavier replied "But now I must go to Belladonna's trial. Scott you will take my classes for me, other than that I will be back next Monday."

Scott looked pleadingly at Ilehana, knowing full well he struggled with physics.

"There are lesson plans in my office. Don't worry its only one week, you'll be fine" Xavier announced as he left, picking up on Scott's worry. Scott was not comforted.
